While I agree that in terms of sheer off-road capability, the FX4 is no match for the ZR2, the simple truth is it's an unworthy comparison, like comparing a 1500 Z71 with a Raptor. I looked long and hard at the ZR2 in my decision process. The extra $10k for it was one turn off. More to the...

Who installed that license plate mount? If the dealer did it, they need a new mechanic...

Just did my first calculated tank. 20 in traffic/city with a bit of open 55mph stuff between. 500 Miles on the pickup. Dash was reading 19.9.

If Ford got to pick which of their trucks people would buy, I'd bet they choose the F-150. The Ranger isn't really meant for people who are looking for a truck of any size, it's meant for the people looking specifically for a mid-size pickup. F-series trucks are fantastic, but they've gotten...

The problem isn't that we don't want one. The problem is the number of reviewers who are floored by it's non-inclusion on the Ranger. The number of reviews that drop the bed and go "uh-oh, no damping!" The only thing that truly bothers me about items missing, is the ignition switch bezel on...

Drove my new ranger for the first time today. My god, I'm in love. If I wasn't so exhausted from my flights, I'd be tempted to just take it for a drive... anywhere, just to drive it. After seeing the dash firsthand, and using it, I can't agree with any of the reviews. I think it looks great...

The Ranger has more than just the stigma of a turbo 4 cylinder engine. The average American is dumb to realize there is a rest of the world, and that world likes trucks. Regardless, when people hear Ranger, they picture that little box that ws still being sold in 2011. Ford didn't keep up with...

Most underrated comment on this board! I'm genuinely confused by this statement. Why is it up to do you to decide who needs what? Also, who is pretending they need a truck?

That worry crossed my mind for a brief second, but a cursory look at the international Ranger showed that it was a well designed platform in regards to safety. It is good to see the actual results looking so good though!

Don't buy them all guys! I need to be able to pick one up when I get back next week!

It's too subjective a subject to have a single "best" family vehicle. Your solution is something I could see my cousin doing. 3 kids, no dogs, lots of paved roads in his life. I have 2 kids and 2 large breed dogs, so we've always preferred Crew Cab smaller trucks (for parking and the ability...

Just gotta sell it right!

Offroading is strictly the domain of aftermarket lifted trucks with mud terrain 33s! How dare you think otherwise!!!! Okay I kid. Seriously, it all depends on what you call offroading. I grew up in the northwest, and the stuff I drove through to get to my friends house was deep rutted, muddy...

I think Ford people "getting it" is really a non-issue. The issue is that people don't do their research. Ford has marketed the numbers as best they can. Every single review, even the negative ones, acknowledge the good power the Ranger makes. I'm proof that you don't have to be a Ford guy...

This. Honestly, for a short moment, I thought he was just an abraisve person who was just unable to articulate a response. I tried to engage him in direct talk with numbers and figures. That was a waste of my time. ALL - Chuck has proven that he is just here to fight and ham-fistedly brag...

Numbers? I don't have RWHP numbers for a turbo 2TR-FE in the Gen3, but the URD Supercharger puts down 198hp at 5000 rpm and 207 lb⋅ft at 5000 rpm. Ranger does 243hp at 5400 rpm and 257 lb⋅ft 3900 rpm. Both are RWHP numbers. I'm sure you could probably squeeze more power out of a the 2TR-FE...

Honestly, I am still baffled by Toyota's engine choice. They lost me with that drive train. And I LOVED the Gen2. I don't think there will be any 2.7s in this generation Ranger. They MAY have one in the next iteration. I honestly am not worried about it. There is not better gas engine in a...

It's impossible to tell what the future holds. Ford let the Ranger stagnate in a changing market and fell way behind the curve. When the Ranger left the market, it was the smallest truck in the US. Tacoma was the underdog truck to the reigning king Ranger about 20 years ago. Maybe the...

Tacoma has been offering a crew cab long bed for years. I test drove an '06 with that configuration a decade ago. It was too long for me. Ended up getting a TRD Crew Cab short bed. Loved that truck til I totaled it.

Amen brother! Some of y'all need to quit assuming your method of use is the only way to treat it like a truck. I've got a supercrew that'll comfortably fit 4 adults when I need it to and gives the kids plenty of space for long rides. Throw a topper on it and build out the bed a little bit...
